Synopsis:

In a fantasy world ruled by kings and queens possessing great magical power, Kant Icurus Maybale is the only prince on the Aceaton Continent who does not possess magic. However, what he does possess, that nobody else does, is his past memories of the time when he was a Mechanical Engineer on Earth. With nothing but knowledge, brains, and wisdom, he dares to bring this medieval-esque fantasy world into the industrial era, and gain unimaginable wealth and power. Along the way, powerful forces that feel threatened by his rise in dominance will do whatever it takes to bring him down! Will he be able to conquer the continent, and potentially the world, to usher in a new age, or will he get crushed by the existing world order?

The Mechanical Era

Alan raises his hand to grab Kant's attention like a schoolboy wanting to ask his teacher a question. Kant stops speaking and points to the minister, to allow him to stand up and speak his mind.

"What is it, Minister Alan?" Kant asked.

"Sir, the plan that you have proposed is a rather bold one. How will you be able to secure enough funds to build this vast network? I do not think we should purely use our nation's funds," Alan questioned.

"That is a good question, Minister Alan. Yes, it will be an expensive endeavor considering the project will be covering a large and wide area, across half the continent.

However, due to our previous efforts, we should be able to alleviate the burden of building the railroads, thanks to a few key technologies that I had invented and implemented.

First of all, we already have the ability to mass-produce steel, thanks to the Bessemer process, and the steel mill be had built a few months back.
